Special (physical) edition comes with a free Witcher 2 laser mouse and mouse pad if you pre-order at EB, haha. Only $88.00, not too bad for EB Games. They're even undercutting JB Hifi on a number of games these days.

I was going to start playing #1 tomorrow, if I can tear myself away from Shogun 2 and Starcraft that is. Picked it up for $19 with all the bonus content so I think I'll wait till #2 is around that price also.

Finished The Witcher the other week, I have to say it's now on my list of best PC games ever. I've never been sucked into a medievil RPG before, The Witcher somehow changed that. Definitely picking the sequel up, though not sure if getting it on release day is a good idea.

I should mention (and maybe you could add it to the OP reb1rth) its available on GOG.com for preorder and it will be DRM free (the GOG version) $44.95 to preorder it from there and steam, not a bad deal.

I don't think the engine looks that dated, really what made the game feel dated was how linear the navigation was. like not being able to jump over a seemingly small log, or walk too close to certain buildings. I also have to admit that I "liked" the game, up until Vizima, when I then became addicted, with the myriad story branches arching off, or intertwining with others.

The Witchter 2 was removed from the Steam Store just recently, I hope this doesn't mean a delay.

sorry I see the OP has just mentioned it.

I read that it could have been removed from the Steam Store not because of delay but because they wanted to end the pre order discount and put up the proper release page as it is getting closer to launch, heres hoping!
